1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase contains a non-covalent binding site for ubiquitin within the amino-terminal lobe (N-lobe) of the HECT domain, and the X-ray crystal structure of the HECT-ubiquitin complex has been determined. Hydrophobic patch residues of ubiquitin (L8, I44, V70) were crucial for interaction with Rsp5, and amino-acid alterations at the Rsp5-binding interface resulted in defects in polyubiquitination. Our results support a model in which the N-lobe-binding site acts to localize and orient the distal end of the ubiquitin chain to promote conjugation of the next ubiquitin molecule.
